A 75 kg football player is gliding forward across very smooth ice at 4.6 m/s. He throws a 0.47 kg football straight forward. A)

What is the player's speed afterward if the ball is thrown at 15 m/s relative to the ground?B) What is the player's speed afterward if the ball is thrown at 15 m/s relative to the player?

Answer:

4.53482 m/s

4.506 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of player = 75 kg

v_1 = Initial velocity of player = 4.6 m/s

m_2 = Mass of ball = 0.47 kg

v_1 = Initial velocity of ball = 15 m/s

The linear momentum of the system is conserved

(m_1+m_2)v_1=m_1v+m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v_1-m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{(75+0.47)4.6-0.47\times 15}{75}\\\Rightarrow v=4.53482\ m/s

The player's speed is 4.53482 m/s

In the second case the equation of momentum is

(m_1+m_2)v_1=m_1v+m_2(v_2+v_1)\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v_1-m_2(v_2+v_1)}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{(75+0.47)4.6-0.47\times (15+4.6)}{75}\\\Rightarrow v=4.506\ m/s

The player's speed is 4.506 m/s

What is a cool example of newtons 3rd law?
USPshnik [31]
<span>This law means that when one object exerts force on another, the same amount of force is exerted on the initial object, but in the opposite reaction. For example, when a billiard ball strikes another ball, the second ball is propelled forward. Simultaneously, the momentum of the first ball is slowed or stopped by opposing force. The amount that the first object is affected by the opposing force depends on the mass and motion of the second object.</span>

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r} }

The formula for escape velocity where:

G - Gravitational constant (9.81 etc.)

M - the mass of the object the escape should be made from

r - distance to the centre of that mass
